I love to listen to Def Leppard when I party And, Rick Allen - to come back as a drummer after losing an arm, should be impossible. But he did it. I have a lot of respect for that.Not seeing many Def Leppard fans...

LOL! Could have been. But no. I love my Lepps.And I thought it was for Leppelin
Rick Allen has a foundation that assists the wounded warrior project, too. He's doing some great work despite (because of?) his own personal injuries. Definite respect for the guy, yup.I love to listen to Def Leppard when I party And, Rick Allen - to come back as a drummer after losing an arm, should be impossible. But he did it.

I am a very angry person...over some things.I would think you would be a more angry person....the poor guy never seems overly happy.
Very true.What also struck me was the difference in concert tickets between the golden years and today. I figure I spent more on my youngest’s 3 - One Direction tickets than I spent on ally my concerts combined. (And I’ve seen some of the monsters of Rock’n’Roll, like Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Eric Clapton, Madonna, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, AC/DC and the Rolling Stones.)
Well catergorised Dio'Bolic, "Experimental Weird" sums up the music of Capt Beefheart (Don van Vliet) pretty well in my opinion.

Love his vocals on the track "Willie The Pimp" from the Frank Zappa "Hot Rats" album, awesome peformance.
Very true.
A friend and I also talked about how different ticket purchases are now, compared to when we started going to concerts. I never had any problems getting the tickets I wanted then. Now, you have to be online the moment the tickets are released, the good shows sell out in minutes!
Also for Stephen King in Hamburg, I had a hard time securing a ticket. And I was logged on and ready for action 10 min. before they released the tickets.
Luckily, many fan clubs have pre-sales for their members, which means a little less stress.
I saw AC/DC in 1978 (Bon Scott was singer) in Denver for $5.00. It was in a 1500 seat place.
I have several ticket stubs from shows in the late 70s and early 80s and most of the tickets were $10.00 or less.
We used to have to stand outside the record store that sold tickets (on a fancy machine called a computer) and wait for it to open at 10:00 am to buy tickets. That really sucked.
I saw Yes in 1976 at Roosevelt Stadium in NJ. I think the ticket set me back a whopping $7.50..LOL
I have lost all my tickets and merch from the 80's and 90's, I have moved around too much. But in Norway the tickets were between 15€-25€ in those days.I saw AC/DC in 1978 (Bon Scott was singer) in Denver for $5.00. It was in a 1500 seat place.

Finally someone who agrees with me People keep telling me how great Metallica's revolving stage is, but I never wanted to see it. At least with a normal stage in front, you can fight your way to a decent place. I don't mean fight for real, but it is always possible to get quite close to the stage, if you can endure a little pressure.I saw Yes sometime in the late 70s and they were on a stage that revolved. It was set up in the center of the arena and I guess the idea was that no one would have a bad seat but in reality, about 75 percent of the time, you were looking at the back or side of them.

This thread brought back some nostalgia. I tried to remember all the groups I saw in concert – 65 as far as I can recall so far. And I realized I haven’t listened to much (if any) of their music in quite some time, like 10CC, Billy Preston, Nazareth, Climax Blues Band, Doobie Brothers, Edgar Winter, Foghat, Weather Report, Kansas, Joe Jackson, Johnny Maestro, The Turtles, Jethro Tull, The Hooters, J. Giles Band, Humble Pie, Yes, and Crosby-Stills-Nash&Young.
Were the band members also playing under very colorful mushroom like canopies? If so, I saw Yes play the same tour. Was yours in Philadelphia at the Spectrum? I can still picture in my mind that poor guy passed out near the stairs the entire concert, and people kept checking on him to see if he was breathing.

I've a pretty large music collection ranging from 1960's until now, and although it took a lot of time I converted all of my, and my wife's, old 45 rpm & LP Records, Cassettes and CD's from analogue to digital.
Then I imported them into I-Tunes, so on my I-Pod I have every piece of music we've ever bought which is around 17,000 tracks so far.
At meal times, or when just chilling, we put the I-Pod on shuffle play and we're off down "memory lane".
It's great what pops out, I recommend it!
That sounds like either the Solo Albums tour in '76 or the Relayer tour of '75. They played under these huge lighted somethingorothers.......that lowered over them and shot lasers out into the crowd.........
A pic and notice that Moraz is the keyboard player so this would be in '75 or '76..........
